Running of Fumes

I still have had very little sleep, but things are getting odd. I have felt rested the last couple of days on a total of 3 hrs of sleep out of 48.

Pam took the dog to the vet to get stitches out, and picked up some pour-on flea/tick killer...Hopefully this will work as the poor dog has received little relief from the stuff sold in the stores. We'll see.

I went along with Pam and the kids to her home office to pickup some material then on the my school. It was good to see Susan, Mike, and the rest of the gang. Christie has taken a new job at a bank and will be missed... It was nice to take the kids up because they always get all kinds of attention. Today Mangela took the kids to the chum bucket and bought them some candy...They were so excited! Susan and Mike also made a big fuss over them, which they totally loved.

On our way back from Bentonville, we dropped by the wholesale house to pick up some supplies for our flea market booths. I wasn't totally happy with what they had, but it was still worth the trip. Found some really cool giraffe's and a hippo figurine.

On the final leg home, a 19 mile strip of country without any stores or gas stations, I noticed the fuel gage was on "E". That's what I hate about fibromyalgia; things that normally would be noticed, just slip by. Anyway, we ended up having to detour to Westville for gas. I think we just prayed our way there, as It was so below the mark. When we did get to a station, the tank kinda gasped when I took the cap off...literally running on fumes. The depressing part was that it took $45 to fill the tank. This $2 a gallon junk is getting so old.

One thing I forgot, at the wholesale house, I picked up two really awesome cast iron doves. Very cool. Hopefully we will have good sales this month...Money is so very tight, and it is very scary when investing what little you don't have, in order to not get by. We are playing a frightening game...Praying we will be able to pays bills next month. This stress is starting to get to all of us.

Pain level didn't get too bad until late this evening, then had to really hit the meds for some relief. Storms must be on the way.
